Wake up, Delhi: Town crier gives voice to a fading Ramzan tradition


Peer ji knows the occupants of most houses by name or profession. Kids are sleeping,” shouts back a voice, leaving Peer ji despondent for a moment. At night, Peer ji would encounter various groups of hymn singers carrying lanterns; each group visited a different locality each day. For instance, Peer ji waits beneath the house of heavy sleepers, till they respond to his call. By 3.15 am, having covered multiple lanes on more than a 2- km-long stretch, Peer ji heads back home.
